HIDING FROM PHARAOH’S DAUGHTER? Saturday 5 March

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye


MEMORIZE: “Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.” (Isaiah 60:5).

READ: Exodus 2:5-6

Miriam effectively watched over Moses; hence, the opportunity God brought their way did not slip by them. Beloved leader, pastor or parent, opportunities are coming your way and the way of those God has put in your care. If you sleep off, you may not know when they pass by you. God is looking for effective watchmen and women who will put off sleep from their eyes and prayerfully watch over the flock. Are you one of such people?

While Miriam was watching, she was oblivious of what was coming her way—good or bad. Yet, she had great expectations. She expected something good and it came. To be effective, your act of watching must be backed by positive expectations. God regards the expectations of His children. Proverbs 23:18 says, “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off”. Be very careful when engaging expectation instincts because what you expect may likely come. So always expect good while you watch, and good will always come to you sooner or later.

As young Miriam hid, watching from a distance, Pharaoh’s daughter came along with her maidens. Boy, was she scared! The daughter of the man who wanted her brother dead! Oh! How she must have prayed for God to blind the princess’ eyes and block her ears so as not to see the baby or hear its cry. She must have prayed that the baby would fall asleep so that its cry would not get the attention of the enemy. She did not expect anything good from the enemy’s camp. Unknown to her, the one she tried to hide her brother from was the very one he needed in order to live. Some people are still hiding certain information from those that God could use to help them. It could be because such a person had played a negative role in their lives in time past. But the truth is, God can turn those who hate you to favour you. Are you hiding from Pharaoh’s daughters of this world when God wants to use them to help you? The Lord will open your eyes and speak to your spirit today. Your help in the hands of your enemies shall be delivered to you in Jesus name. The Lord will cause unfriendly situations and hostile climates to favour you from now on.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, the helpers Heaven has appointed for me that I unknowingly avoid, connect them with me today.

Bible in One year: Acts 24-26

IDOLS FRUSTRATE EXPECTATIONS Monday 27 August

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Proverbs 10:28 Read: Isaiah 44:10-18 B efore you receive a prophetic declaration, check out the fruit of the vessel-the prophet, pastor, or servant of God, whether the fellow is still in league with God. Some people say, “thus says the Lord,” but the Lord did not say anything to them. Some of them heard from themselves and spoke. Be careful of what you accept as being from God. In Jeremiah 28:1-4, Hananiah a prophet prophesied that in two years God was going to set Israel free from the yoke of the king of Babylon, but it was all a lie! Imagine the joy of the people when they heard that. But after two years, and the prophecy did not come to pass, all the expectations of the people failed. Instead of two years, they spent 70 years. In others, the prophetic lies of prophets cannot change what God want to do or alter its tim...

DROP THOSE EXCUSES! Wednesday 22 August

Open Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye Memorise: Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whatsoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Romans 2:1 Read: Exodus 3:10-16 A fter his experience of the supernatural and God introducing Himself to Moses, he was given a specific assignment. He objected with reasons but they were not accepted. From this we learn that when God has decided to send you on an assignment, no excuse is good enough. You will notice that the more Moses excused himself from embarking on that assignment, the angrier God became (Exodus 4:13-14). Making excuses to avoid doing what God has assigned to you will easily put you on the wrong side of God’s judgement. Excuses can move you from God’s right hand to His left, from favour to disfavour, from blessing to curses. Has the Lord given you an assignment and you are piling up reasons for not obeying? You are to...
